Access All Areas: Making Work Accessible

Access All Areas and partners will share solutions from their Transforming Leadership programme for increasing employment for learning disabled and autistic professionals.

Agenda:

2.00pm: Introduction to inclusive leadership
2.30pm: How to navigate benefits while freelancing and being paid
3.10pm: Break
 

3.30pm: Co-leading on Transforming Leadership, and accessible board meetings
3.45pm: The role of creative support workers
3.55pm: Access to Work for learning disabled and autistic professionals
4.15pm: Questions
 

The event will end at 4.30pm, with networking for an in-person audience until 5pm.

This event will wrap up 2 years of work on Transforming Leadership with 7 disability arts companies from around the UK, where 14 trainee leaders upskilled, built a network, and learned to navigate work as learning disabled and autistic professionals.

Only 5% of learning disabled people in the UK are in work, while 86% want to be. We hope these practical solutions and the experiences of learning disabled leaders will help show a new direction.

This event will be relaxed, captioned and BSL interpreted.
